Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has said he is not bothered over the defection of his predecessor Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Akpabio this week left the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress.
While speaking during a solidarity visit by the local government chairmen and the councillors in the state, the governor said Akpabio has the right to be in any party.
“I am not perturbed by my predecessor’s defection to the APC; every person is entitled to exercise his fundamental human rights and freedom of association,” he said.
“Therefore, Senator Akpabio has the right to belong to any political party that he wishes.”
